+Change: Add OIDC config flags
+
+To authenticate requests with an oidc provider we added two environment variables:
+- `PROXY_OIDC_ISSUER="https://localhost:9200"` and
+- `PROXY_OIDC_INSECURE=true`
+
+This changes ocis-proxy to now load the oidc-middleware by default, requiring a bearer token and exchanging the email in the OIDC claims for an account id at the ocis-accounts service.
+
+Setting `PROXY_OIDC_ISSUER=""` will disable the OIDC middleware.
